I see this a lot. I think it's because they don't want the 2-3 kids who got it wrong to feel bad. Which is crazy as no one then knows if they got the answer right.

Angle at the centre is double the angle at the circumference?

Because your resources are great. Love how you isolate particular skills. Also really like that you upload the word doc, so can edit the questions to suit the group I'm teaching.

Which is what we discussed in the workgroup. So tried it again...

Initially I tried "following the method". But obviously it is a different type of problem as the number of marbles changes.

I was looking at this with a workgroup a few weeks back. It worked quite nicely with a bar model and setting up of an equation. But we didn't explore pure multiplicative reasoning as above. I wondered if Andrews method was generalisable to all problems of this type...

Although I went (4x+8)/6=(7x/8)/5.

Yes it's definitely. Equivalent fractions / ratio table. I guess my point was that there's more to do than purely multiplicative reasoning. Not sure that really matters though

Or proportion! You could systematically list out possible combinations of starting numbers and then take the 8 off to see if it fits the new ratio. That requires multiplicative reasoning but it's more than just that. Or you could form an equation and solve, which is not multiplicative reasoning.

Yes, so a kind of special rotation. 180 degrees using the line as axis of rotation. Does this breakdown mathematically at any point?

I'd argue a reflection is a rotation
